IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

rpecillca'ttiuu forming To all who: it may concern:

o it known that I, ELLIOT Axnunsmt' Ge-v neva, in the county of Ontario and State of New York, have invented a newand useful Improvement on Flows; and I do hereby de' clare that the following-is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichi Figure 1 is an elevation. spective view.

E E is a frame to secure the mold-hoard B to the beam A; also to attach the handle P to; also to form abox for the shaft of the'cam-wheel W. a is the cams on the side .0 to give it r against thereby causing the each cam comes in 0 o" o 0 are points in the wheel adhesive force. .1) is a friction-rolls which the. cams a revolve, mold-board B to rise as contact with it.

B is the mold-board with a portion removed, showing part. of the frame E. r isa loop on beam A to receive the arm 8 of frame E.

X X are feet forthe purpose of bolting the frame E firmly to the beam A. fis a projection on the beam A to prevent the fratne'E from slipping drawn forward. S is the shaft of cam-wheel W, revblving in the sockets on m in beam A and frame E. a a a? c a a are cams. c and c are jaws projecting from the mold-board to hold the friction-roller b on the pin a. The handle P is inserted in loops e P is bolted to the frame are attached to beam A s'ncha manneras to allow ove the distance of the throw of the cams, but to prevent it becoming displaced by moving too far. i

The projection d on the mold-board passes the projection (l on frame E and forms the lock. The links L L is ready for the the usual mann p The operation of the plow is as follows: As the plow is drawn forward the c will revolve, bringing thecams in the friction-roller b in the mold-hoard, giving it an oscillating motion as each cam comes in handles (which are inserted in er.

contact with contact with the roller, by which means the wedgin-g of the mold-board under the furrow is relieved as often as it vibrates, lessening the draft and working easier through, the ground, and also leaving the furrow in a more porous condition than any plow heretofore in use.

I wish it to be understood that [do not claim the invention of the plow, nor the iron beam, mold-board, or share; neither do I claim the cam-wheel; but

I claim- 1. The frame E E, for the purpose ot holding the mold-board B, attaching the handle P, and supporting the e 2. The manner of a E upon pivot-points, in combination with the lockxl d and links L L.

3. The combination of the wheel W a a a m and friction-roller b, or the alents, mold-board,in them substantially as des cams a ir equivanner and for the purpose cribed.
